We are pleased to announce a change to the way in which we present STR’s pipeline data. Attached, you will find our pipeline press release that follows the standard format we have used for the past several years.

New this month, we are introducing the second attachment—an infographic that provides a visual look at the most active hotel development markets in the region.This infographic was designed around feedback we have received from many of our media partners. The infographic also shifts the focus of our pipeline communications from Under Contract totals (and year-over-year comparisons) to In Construction figures (and percentage of existing supply). This will provide media members with a look at the pipeline phase that is most impactful on market performance.

Moving forward, we will issue this infographic on a quarterly basis, ultimately replacing our standard monthly press release. However, we are more than happy to help if you would prefer to continue receiving pipeline data on a monthly basis. Please feel free to contact the STR representatives listed below with your request. As always, we welcome any feedback you may have regarding our media communications.
